Green Hosting from DreamHost

Do you have any idea how many physical resources it takes to run an internet company? More than you’d think.

It takes electricity to run our servers, paper to run our offices, and gas to get our employees into work. In small amounts, these types of things are harmless. But the larger we grow as an organization, the more we want to be mindful of our own usage of our planet’s limited resources.

That’s why we’ve made a conscious effort to reduce our impact on the environment with optimized facilities and policies that put respect for natural resources at the core of what we do.
